Anybody tried this Spotnet thing in practice? How do the results rank vs centralized indexers?

First they took removable batteries, then they waited until people get used to it, and now we get this nice feature.

When was the last time you tried to access a Google account from another device in a new location? They won't let you in, you'll be in a maze of fake "wrong password" errors, recovery emails that never arrive because they have nevet been sent and whatever they came up with this year.

Or old school. Web used to be just one of the provided services. mail.tu-darmstad.de, ftp.tu-darmstad.de, www.tu-darmstad.de, not prioritizing any of them

I like that when you come across one of the many Google dark patterns and complain about it, a fanboy always shows up out of nowhere to tell you it's impossible and you did something wrong.

Is the filament dry?

Wasm't that the date when they forced every developer to verify and publish their identity and phone number? https://www.jwz.org/blog/2024/11/your-personal-information-is-very-important-to-us-part-three/

Seriously delicious

Thanks!

Amazing work, I wouldn't come up with that bending algorithm if my life depended on it

Any idea where to find one of these?

Yewtube is like an institution, running since forever. Afair it's the same person which runs xcancel.

I haven't seen these until much later

Have you tried tagging it with something safe (like "Dos") and then tagging again?

The shiny one you have will be old in a few years

I didn't get that far. And I only had an Amiga at that time, which made things more difficult to set up. I wonder how fluent transparency would be with AGA, haha. My next attempt was woth a PC around 2003 with KDE3 and it got me hooked.

I loved reading HOWTOs, they were a bit like scene zines, but the content wasn't that helpful indeed

Contrary to other OSes, the information about it was mainly on the internet, no books or magazines. With only one computer at most homes, and no other internet-connected devices, that posed a problem when something didn't work.

It took me weeks to write a working X11 config on my computer, finding all the hsync/vsync values that worked by rebooting back and forth. And the result was very underwhelming, just a terminal in an immovable window. I think I figured out how to install a window manager but lost all patience before getting to a working DE. Days and days of fiddling and learning.

Good security feature but only for the phone in your pocket. The old one used as a camera, homeassistant screen, sms to email forwarder, ssh server, will stop being useful.
